How to read this roadmap: The very nature of Agile software development implies that no plans are set in stone and the roadmap evolves constantly. However, we still make plans and may roughly divide them into three levels of certainty depending on the implementation timeline. This applies to our marketplace management and CRM products, too.
First comes the Upcoming version part with our our plans for the upcoming release. These plans are the most detailed and the scope of what we want to deliver within the release is more or less fixed (note that it still may change though).
Next part is our Mid-term plans. Items listed there are our priority targets for 1–2 future LTS release cycles, or roughly a year down the road. These items are less detailed, but should give you a general idea of the features we’d like to develop.
Finally, our Long-term plans is the high-level overview of what we eventually would like to add to our application, but aren’t going to work on anytime soon. This part could be a good starting point if you want to develop an extension for our Extensions Store or contribute to the application directly.
